Planned Investment and the Interest Rate

Planned investment spending is a negative function of the interest rate.

An increase in the interest rate from 3 percent to 6 percent reduces planned investment from I0 to I1.

Other Determinants of Planned Investment

The assumption that planned investment depends only on the interest rate is obviously a simplification, just as is the assumption that consumption depends only on income. In practice, the decision of a firm on how much to invest depends on, among other things, its expectation of future sales.

The optimism or pessimism of entrepreneurs about the future course of the economy can have an important effect on current planned investment. Keynes used the phrase animal spirits to describe the feelings of entrepreneurs, and he argued that these feelings affect investment decisions.

Other Determinants of Planned Investment

Interest Rates and Investment Spending

A recent study by Simon Gilchrist, Fabio Natalucci, and Egon Zakrajsek finds that interest rates have a powerful effect on the behavior of firms.

Planned Aggregate Expenditure and the Interest Rate

We can use the fact that planned investment depends on the interest rate to consider how planned aggregate expenditure (AE) depends on the interest rate.

Recall that planned aggregate expenditure is the sum of consumption, planned investment, and government purchases.

AE ≡ C + I + G

An increase in the interest rate from 3 percent to 6 percent lowers planned aggregate expenditure and thus reduces equilibrium income from Y0 to Y1.

The effects of a change in the interest rate include:

A high interest rate (r) discourages planned investment (I).

Planned investment is a part of planned aggregate expenditure (AE).

Thus, when the interest rate rises, planned aggregate expenditure (AE) at every level of income falls.

Finally, a decrease in planned aggregate expenditure lowers equilibrium output (income) (Y) by a multiple of the initial decrease in planned investment.

Equilibrium in Both the Goods and Money Markets

An increase in the interest rate (r) decreases output (Y) in the goods market because an increase in r lowers planned investment.

When income (Y) increase, this shifts the money demand curve to the right, which increases the interest rate (r) with a fixed money supply. We can thus write:

Equilibrium in Both the Goods and Money Markets

Planned investment depends on the interest rate, and money demand depends on aggregate output.

An increase in government spending G from G0 to G1 shifts the planned aggregate expenditure schedule from 1 to 2.

The crowding-out effect of the decrease in planned investment (brought about by the increased interest rate) then shifts the planned aggregate expenditure schedule from 2 to 3.

interest sensitivity or insensitivity of planned investment The responsiveness of planned investment spending to changes in the interest rate. Interest sensitivity means that planned investment spending changes a great deal in response to changes in the interest rate; interest insensitivity means little or no change in planned investment as a result of changes in the interest rate.

The Aggregate Demand (AD) Curve

aggregate demand The total demand for goods and services in the economy.

aggregate demand (AD) curve A curve that shows the negative relationship between aggregate output (income) and the price level. Each point on the AD curve is a point at which both the goods market and the money market are in equilibrium.

The Aggregate Demand Curve: A Warning

It is important that you realize what the aggregate demand curve represents.

The aggregate demand curve is more complex than a simple individual or market demand curve. The AD curve is not a market demand curve, and it is not the sum of all market demand curves in the economy.

To understand what the aggregate demand curve represents, you must understand the interaction between the goods market and the money markets.

Other Reasons for a Downward-Sloping Aggregate Demand Curve

The Consumption Link

The consumption link provides another reason for the AD curve’s downward slope.

An increase in the price level increases the demand for money, which leads to an increase in the interest rate, which leads to a decrease in consumption (as well as planned investment), which leads to a decrease in aggregate output (income).

The Consumption Link

The initial decrease in consumption (brought about by the increase in the interest rate) contributes to the overall decrease in output.

Planned investment does not bear all the burden of providing the link from a higher interest rate to a lower level of aggregate output.

Decreased consumption brought about by a higher interest rate also contributes to this effect.

Shifts of the Aggregate Demand Curve

An increase in the money supply (Ms) causes the aggregate demand curve to shift to the right, from AD0 to AD1. This shift occurs because the increase in Ms lowers the interest rate, which increases planned investment (and thus planned aggregate expenditure). The final result is an increase in output at each possible price level.

An increase in government purchases (G) or a decrease in net taxes (T) causes the aggregate demand curve to shift to the right, from AD0 to AD1. The increase in G increases planned aggregate expenditure, which leads to an increase in output at each possible price level. A decrease in T causes consumption to rise. The higher consumption then increases planned aggregate expenditure, which leads to an increase in output at each possible price level.
